Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked sausage, shredded hashbrowns, beaten eggs, shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.

Roll mixture into bite-sized rounds, about the size of a golf ball, and place on a parchment-lined sheet.

Cook bites in a skillet with olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side or bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.

Transfer cooked bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute before serving.
